Ducks shot .633 from the field in
the hist 20 minutes, hut San
Diego State countered by mak
ing almost 70 percent of its field
goal attempts in the second half.
Sporcich made 13 of 14 shots
against the Aztecs and finished
with 31 points and 11 rebounds.
"It was hard for us to simulate
in practice the kind of pressure
we saw in that game. We don't
have the kind of quickness they
do." Runge said. "It was hard to
get any calls down the stretch."
Runge said Oregon's post
players "have really come into
their own" during the last three
weeks. Sporcich and Wilson are
getting help front players such
as guard Missy Croshaw, .434
from three-point range, whose
outside shooting has helped cre
ate scoring opportunities in the
paint.
Now. Oregon turns its atten
tion to its game against UTEP at
4:30 p.m. today. Runge expects
to see another quick team that
will try and press against Ore
gon but may have problems
matching up with the Ducks’
size inside.
"They will probably press us,
but its not like we haven't had to
deal with pressure before. Hope
fully we will react well and not
dig ourselves a hole early."
Runge said.
